today was one of the "review" days, when I (and 2 other tenured faculty) do the employee review interviews of the new people, and so today we're doing this religious studies dude. he's okay but very academic, ie uptidy and sure he's brilliant yet a nervous wreck and hateful of others as if their stupidity is the font from which his angst something flows. near the end, the socialogist asks, "Have you seen Air Guitar Nation?" he'd been talking about invisibility and verifiability as it pertains to faith. no, he had not. and she hadn't meant to be an asshole, she's just kinda nuts and apt to speak French to you even though you don't speak French. omg, afterwards the other two of us just could not stop laughing, and in the end, yes yes Mr Uptidy gets to stay and we were plotting to add "Hot Tub Time Machine" to the campus film festival . .
